Emmanuel Adebayor had his team-mates to thank after Tottenham snatched a late point at West Brom despite his tame penalty miss.

Spurs found themselves two goals down inside just four minutes at the Hawthorns thanks to early goals from Matej Vydra and Chris Brunt, before the visitors were offered a lifeline with a 15th-minute penalty.

But Adebayor failed to halve the deficit, as he tamely passed the ball to grateful Baggies goalkeeper Ben Foster.

Sherwood’s men were punished again after half an hour, with Stephane Sessegnon grabbing a third.

Tottenham did however manage to find the back of the net before half-time, but even then they needed a helping hand from West Brom’s Jonas Olsson who converted past his own goalkeeper.

However West Brom’s woes returned in the second half when a Harry Kane header and a last-gasp strike from Christian Eriksen earned Spurs a point.
